CAD-FlowManager

CAD-FlowManager
CAD-FlowManager enables sharing information
between eCAD and corporate data (i.e. PLM,
PDM, ERP) offering benefits for both design
engineers and product life-cycle managers. It
enables an effective collaboration between
them without adding unnecessarily work as
engineering overhead.

A clean and centralized eCAD part library saves
time during the part selection process for the
engineers and it avoids creation of redundant
parts. Adding and maintaining new parts
over its lifetime might cost 500 to 5000 Euro
per part depending on its complexity and the
number of people involved in the verification
and maintenance process.

Corporate data access and performing global
corporate functions within the OrCAD/Allegro
interface improves efficiency and eliminates
problems that can arise from managing eCAD
data in a local file system. This deep software
integration improves team collaboration, data
quality, and engineering productivity to increase
enterprise efficiency.

CAD-FlowManager automates processes of
publishing eCAD design information into
corporate data platforms, making a process
efficient and consistent. It literally takes
just a single mouse click for engineering
to provide design intelligence needed to
drive decisions relating to procurement,
supply chain management, engineering
change management and other key areas
throughout the product life-cycle.

CAD-FlowManager enriches the eCAD
library with critical enterprise data in key
areas such as cost, change notifications and
availability. This enables design engineers
to make better part selections from within
the eCAD tools and reducing costly rework
later in the development process.

BOM information is critical to managing the
success of a new product. Without current
and accurate BOM information driving the
PLM system, it’s impossible to make optimal
purchasing and other choices. CAD-Flow-
Manager provides direct integration with
the Cadence design environments to extract
relevant data that will enable collaboration,
increase visibility and drive better product
decisions.

CAD-FlowManager offers a web based
environment for easy deployment and
configuration to your engineering and
business process.
